TIE WALKER LAKE RE-sURyEY

The Esmeral&a NezO5 says: "Now that the

have the slightest use for the same, but, in
this case, it is a well known fact that the In

belt and are too triaing or lazy to catch the
fish that abound in the lake. As we under
stand, this is what is called an executive

an order OF the President Of the United

LATE TRAINS.

We concur in the opinion Of some OF thu
papers in regafd to the manner in which tn.
people of this section of the country are be
ing treated by the e. P. R. r., in delaying
the mails But what surprises us is The
source from which the main growl comes
Our good Deacon Of the Tribune is in Fl
state of mind 10 tear up the track Of this
mighty corporation for not placing his ex
changes on his breakfast table before he has
fairly cot oat and dressed himself. He for.
gets that the railroad companies claim the
right to discriminate against the people OF
the State in the matter Of freight charges,
and if we mistake not the back files OF the
.z,t6Me will shcw that the good Deacon has
always consented to said diScrimina ton
While the people have been calling for their
right, under the Interstate Commerce BIZ F.,
the Tribune has simply made light OF the at
tempt, claiming, if not in direct words, GER
tainly in actions, that the corporations are
stronger than the Government. The people
of this State are so accustomed TO being dis
eliminated against by railroad diciation they
are not likely TO lose their tempers to s"ch

papers, that in the past, have not been

State unit on the quest ion Of discrimina-
ton, and would demand right and justice
for the people in all matters that tends to
their benefit, a different state Of facts would
soon exist. The corporations may be strong

stronger than an individual State. We bold

GOOD TIME COMING.


The Carson Tribune says: "The State Of
Nevada has seen its worst days and it is
universally conceded that good time is
coming No, boom, no ranting, but a steady
and permanent growth, a healthy manhood
brought about by persistent effort and the
intrinsic value Of her land. Only a few
years ago the statement that Nevada would
display at a Fair as fine cattle as the world
can produce, would almost have caused the
arrest OF the teller for insanity, but the fact
is now proven and in no country on the face
OF the globe can better stock be found or
beef produced. Wherever irrigation can be
procured, grain Of every kind grows luxuri
antly, and as to vegetables. potatoes especi
ally, Nevada equals the world. Land,
which a few years ago, was considered
worthless. now commands a fair price per
acre and is being rapidly sought after,
Everywhere ranchers are boring artesian

Of The soil and a determination to do away
with the everlasting sagebrush and supplant
the useless growth with alfalfa or grain,

The RaHPIayers.

PITTsBURG, Nov. Sal Reach, the
Philadelphia base ball magnate, is in
the city on a secret mission. In an in
terview Mr.. Reach stated that the
league officials were not inclined to Op-
pose the brotherhood of ball players.
Said he:
'AlI reports published 10 the contrary are
false. / am confident that when the league
meets next week the brotherhood will be
frankly recognized. We have nothing to
fear. If the brotherhood proposes anything
that will elevate the national game, of course
we will agree to ii, as our desire is to make
the game as pure and honest as possible
will the league graut the request of the
brotherhood for the abolition of the rule sus-
pending players without pay?''
Il don't think that request will be granted
If that rule is abolished it will have a down
ward tendency. In the absence of that rule
there would be nothing to keep players in
line. They would do as they liked and
no club would be sure of keeping a
good team together. The demand of
the brotherhood means that if a
player does not give satisfaction he can be
released. This is unjust, because any man
could play and act recklessly in order 10 go
somewhere else. This alone would mean ruin
80 the game 1t is only by forcing players to
do right that the game has become so popular
with the people and so pure that ladies and
gentlemen Of the best classes take an interest
il it. Remove the checks and away goes its

bod previously taken. 1t is understood
that there were three petitions sub
mitted, each differently worded. One
was signed by Spies, Fielden and
Schwab, but none Of them suited the
other four men.
The Party Promised
to call again tomorrow and renew their
application. "We have won more than
half our battle by getting the signature
of SpieS," said Frank Stauber on leav-
ing the Jail, land we hope to be sue
cessful with the rest tomorrow"
George Francis Train sent seven pack
ages of fruit to the condemned men to-
each. The sheriff has already
begun the building of the scaffold
on which it is intended to hang
the anarchists. Carpenters were busy
this afternoon working on the pieces
which go to make up the machine of
death, and it will not be long before the
gall0wS will be ready. This is regarded
in some quarters as significant Of Mr..
Matson's belief that the governor will
not interfere. This afternoon DR..
Schmidt, Frank Stauber and George
Schilling, all prominent in the en-
deavors that have been made to secure
leniency for the anarchists, visited
August Spies at the Jail. They had a
paper which they ha nded to him, and
An Earnest ConversatiO ion
took place. The anarchist appeared
reluctant to do what the men were adj
vising, and Stauber was heard to say:
''ThiS is the last chance" After more
talk and gesticulatiOns, Spies finally
called for pen and signed his name to
the mysterious paper. The event at
the county jail this morning was
conference of nearly half an
hour between Capt. Black l.. S..
Oliver and the seven doomed anarchists.
After the conclusion of the conference,
Capt. Black refused to make public the
matter under discussion. He said that
he expected to leave for Springfield
with the petition of amnesty Monday
night. To the inquiry whether he hoped
for clemency, he replied: Il am always
a hopeful man. | will hope until there
is no longer any ground for it-when
there can only be grief for the seven
men murdered by the law"
1t has been suggested by several
prominent attorneys that the defence,
for the purpose of delay, if nothing else,
could apply for writ de lunatico in
quirendO to determine the mental con-
dition of the condemned seven. Capt.
Black was asked his views on this point.
He said: ut might be done, but the
brave fellows over there would never
consent to it,"

WHY MAURER RESIGNED.
Another Episode in the Monkey
Wrench Case

When Deputy Sheriff Fritz Maurer,
of Minneapolis resigned few days ago
it created good deal of surprise in GER
tain quarters, as Maurer was known to
be as good an officer as ever watched
over jury. The case was made some
thing of mystery from the fact that
Sheriff Swensen and the other deputies
refused to say word in regard to the
affair. The fact in the matter has just
come to light and in view of the
excitement furnished by the notorious
County Attorney Davis, Attorney AL
bert Knittle, Detective Michael Quin-
Ian. Police Commissioner Hoy, and
Thomas Franklin. the alleged fOrger,
figured so prominently, are de-
cidedly interesting. Maurer's resig-
that happened during Mr.. KnittIe's
trial on the charge of giving Franklin
lhe monkey wrench with which he made
his escape from the lookup only to fall
into the hands of Detective Quinlan.
The facts are these: During the trial
of Franklin before Judge Young, when
the noon recess came the
Judge ordered Maurer to return Frank
lin to Jail and remarked that he must be
careful not to let him or the jury see any
one VI tIC COul I'D
arose to accompany Maurer he nodded
to Detective Quinlan, who, by the way,
is also a deputy sheriff but not
actively engaged. Quinlan followed
Maurer and Franklin out into the hall
and as they prepared to go down stairs
requested that Maurer turn Franklin
over to him. Maurer heSitated for a mo-
ment, but, remembering thatQuinlan was
a deputy. turned Franklin over to him,
saying to take him to the Jail at once.
He then returned to the court room, but
in a few minutes he became
uneasy, and, rushing out to the
jail, asked Turnkey James Riley
if Quillan had brought franklin
in. Riley replied that he had not. Now,
thoroughly alarmed, Maurer told what
had occurred, and a search was being
instituted, when Quinlan, accompanied
by Franklin, came across the
street from refreShment shop
and entered the jail, when Franklin
was placed behind the bars. A stormy
scene is said to have ensued between
Quinlan and Maurer, but, be this as it
may, Sheriff Swensen hauled Maurer
over the Goals in very lively manner.
Maurer did not relish this, and
after passing a few words with the
sheriff, resigned. What Quinlan's OBJ
ject was in not taking Franklin direct
to the jail is not known and probably
never will be, but the proceeding makes
the mystery surrounding this singular
case all the more interesting.

NO RING, NO RULES.
But Warren and O'Leary Had a
ScrimmaSe just the Same.

Scrimmage just the Same.
A little occurrence last night serves
to dispel any doubts as to whether a
fight between Warren and OiLeary
would be bona fide or not. Since the
time they met at Louisville, both men
have been aching for chance to get
together again. They met in a saloon
in st. Paul last night, and some I'M
pleasant words passed. Warren was
angered and offered to fight then and
there. Both men had their coats off,
but they were kept apart by the by
ISLANDERS. After some further buster
ing they finally agreed to go to Bass
lake and fight it out at once, each
man to take along one friend. Two
minutes later, Warren, accompanied by
Jack Selby, or Montana jack" a
well-known sport. and O'Leary, accom-
panied by James COnelly, the Boston
middle-weight, entered the same hack
and started for the lake. Before the
hack got around the first corner Warren
and O'Leary resumed the dispute. Hot
words and hard names flew back and
forth and then came blows. They
clinched and Warren gOuged O'Leary
and bit an ugly cash in his cheek. This
weakened O'Leary and he jumped from
the hack. O'Leary and COnelly came
at once to the GLOBE Office and they
were followed by Warren and his
friends, where articles were signed for
a fight to a finish.
